It's just here or Asphyxiate stun can only be taken out with PvP Trinket?

Icebound Fortitude isn't taking out the stun of Asphyxiate.

Tooltip should read:

"Darth Vaders the target turning them into a living punching bag for 5 seconds.Functions as a silence if the target can resist the dark side!"

Worth noting that this ability doesn't cost any runes.

Quoting Darth Vader opposed to facts about this ability gets more upvotes. Logic!

For mages I find blocking to be a waste. Since it's a stun, Blink works just fine.

A must-have skill for farmers. This will shut down an enemy just long enough to mine that rare ore you're trying to grab. Or I guess if you're some kind of herbalist, it's long enough to pick a flower. Y'know, whatever floats your boat.

One of my favorite DK spells. The struggling of my enemies as they gasp for breath amuses me. :D

As of 5.2 cooldown has been reduced to 30 seconds (was 1 minute).

This talent is not really a direct improvement to Strangulate.

The not so noticeable bad sides are the fact that Glyphed Strangulate silences for 7 seconds at once, which might be 2 seconds that you lack if you pick Asphyxiate.

Also if the target has diminishing returns against Stuns, your Asph will last a lot shorter - while strangulate might last a full duration if there are no Silence diminishing returns.

There may be more downsides to this talent, but overall it is a good pick if you need a stun on a short CD.

Death Grip(therefore I assume Gorefiend's Grasp also) does not cancel the effect if you want to control your enemy like a puppet.

As someone that PvEs exclusively, I can say this spell is a lifesaver. Just stun the target and use any form of healing you have to turn it in your favor. The PVP use is great as well for obvious reasons.

And yay, we can finally use the spell NPC DKs have been using since WoTLK.
